My first card features Happy Heart Stamp/Die Bundle
and Gradient Stripe Die Set.
I decided to create a gold background with the new Antique Gold Spray with Bristol paper.
Once dry, I made the die cut with Gradient Stripe Die Set.
I popped one of the die cut pieces up with the sentiment.
The fine-lines and details of the Happy Heart Stamp Set makes you really feel like an artist!
The best thing about this stamp set is that the images are beautiful with the hand-drawn details. You can use any types of color medium. They look amazing no matter how you use them.
In this card, I sponged the Altenew ink very lightly and they are GORGEOUS, as you can see!
My next card also uses Gradient Stripe Die, except this time I flipped it upside down.
The panel was done with ink-blending with a splash of water droplets.
Folksy Florals Stamp Set
from: ALTENEW
I then stamped Folksy Floral Stamp in various colors.
I love how the folksy images peeking through the panel.
In My Thoughts Stamp & Die Bundle
from: ALTENEW
My 3rd card features In My Thoughts Stamp and Die Bundle.
The tree may look hard to stamp, but it really is not! It comes in 3-step stamping and is super easy to line up. This is a MUST-HAVE if you love tree images!
To make the image pop, I stamped a subtle blue background with the text (that comes with the stamp set "In My Thoughts"). This gives interest and depth ...it certainly CONVEYS the thoughts even
more aptly.
To ground the tree, I added the Watercolor Washi Tape
It provides pops of color and subtle dimensions, too!
.
I love the splatter from Altenew Ink Sprays. I had to use a couple spray bottle to complete the design. I hope that you love seeing how I used these stamps.
👉I would love to know which card/stamp set "speaks" to you.

I’m akways astonished with your card designs, really beautifully crafted cards!
Well, your tree card convinces me that I need that stamp! It's so beautiful. My hubby does Bonsai as his hobby and this tree reminds me of that. And of my dad, who photographed the gorgeous cherry blossom trees in D.C. when he was in the service.
Your cards are beautiful. I do love Altenew's flower design sets, but in this release, I fell for the Watercolor Dots set. Love the possibilities there!
LOVE these! SO many great new basics this release- the Gradient Stripes products and those dots!!!
